So after 4 days of being denied entry to Saudi because of driving a RHD car we’ve pushed back to Amman.But with some help from MG & our Team spirt we will get there Not how we planned but thats through no fault of Morris covering over 4 thousand miles with surprising ease.

Day 16: Morris made it to the desert 😎

Who would have thought we would spend the day doing doughnuts in the sand 🏁 and racing camels 🐪

Next up was the final hurdle before Qatar, Saudi Arabia...

@Turki_alalshikh Hello sir, we are some Welsh fans who planned to drive an electric car to Qatar for the World Cup. Unfortunately we have been refused entry into KSA as "Morris" our car is right hand drive. It seems our journey is about to fail. Is there someone who could help?

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

Back to Jordan 🤦🏻‍♂️ after being turned away at the Saudi Arabia border because they wouldn’t allow right hand drive cars to go through . But tomorrow is a new day with renewed faith @scottyoung1818 @FAWales

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

Our epic journey continues! On day 15 we were joined by yet another team Cymru legend, Peter Nicholas ⚽

Thank you to another great team at MG Motor Jordan for meeting with us 🙌

Stand by to follow our drive through the desert...

We were finally reunited with Morris on day 14 🎉

Once we made it through customs, it was time to get back on the road for the Middle Eastern leg - next stop, Jordan ���🐫

Day 16 and no trip to Jordan would be complete without a visit to Petra , breathtaking. Huge thank you to MG Motor Jordan - إم جي الأردن @scottyoung1818

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

In Haifa on day 13 we have never been so glad to see a washing machine! 🩲

Making the most of our time not on the road, we visited the Western Wall.

Thanks to Kev Ratcliffe for joining us and for the words of encouragement 🙌

Dream team reunited, we were back on the road, and have reached Jordan.

We were welcomed by hot weather, ex-Wales player Peter Nicholas and MG Motor Jordan … what’s not to like? ☀🚗

Next, 150 miles to Wadi Rum 🛣

☺️ We’ve hit the 2 week Marker ! As we enter 🇯🇴 Jordan you can see the joy on the teams face! @scottyoung1818 @VisitJordan

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

On day 12 we explored Tel Aviv by foot and sampled shaksuka with @KevRatcliffe4 ⚽

Missing Morris, we decided to swap electric cars for electric scooters! 🛴

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

As the sun gently rises over Haifa in Israel, from our hotel we can hear ships being unloaded at the port in the distance. Hopefully also being unloaded is Morris our electric car. Fingers crossed that the gods of customs paper work are on our side and we'll soon be on our way.

[electriccartoqatar @EVtoQatar]

Day 13 and before we head back on the rd no stop to Israel would be complete without visiting Jerusalem @KevRatcliffe4 @scottyoung1818
